The Shocking Truth About Colombia’s Security Crisis

In a horrendous display of violence, the recent attacks on a police helicopter and an air base have left 20 dead and over 80 wounded in Colombia. This chaos has thrown President Gustavo Petro’s so-called ‘total peace’ policies into serious question, revealing a disturbing deterioration of public safety in our nation.

Attorney General Gregorio Eljach delivered a stark warning this past Friday, stating plainly: “The search for peace cannot come at the cost of our security!” Critics rage that President Petro has grown careless, bending over backwards to negotiate with dangerous criminal organizations instead of prioritizing the safety of law-abiding citizens.

The narcotics crisis continues to spiral out of control as President Petro, who blames two groups of FARC dissidents, attempts to regain his grip over a country that feels increasingly unsafe. The tragic death of Captain Francisco Javier Merchán serves as a painful reminder of this dire situation.

Safety in Crisis: A Haunting Reality

As crime runs rampant, President Petro recently held a security council in Cali, only to dismiss serious measures such as declaring a state of internal shock. Are we really expected to trust him with our safety while violence plagues our streets?

Senator Ariel Ávila vehemently states that the safety policies have failed! With a chilling forecast ahead, he asserts Colombians will face a hard year ahead, filled with more violence as the deadline for Petro’s presidency looms in August 2026. “We cannot allow this to continue!” he warns.

Echoing these sentiments, former Vice President Germán Vargas Lleras railed against the inaction:
